Why are tech salaries so high? Software Engineers, Developers? 

What should non-tech people do?

Tech vs Non-Tech salaries

Investment Associate

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Tech and Non tech Pay Partiality is something no one talks about

Engineers deserve their pay.  
  
 1 - The code that engineers write are assets of a company. The code might keep running and serving customers for years after a engineer has probably even left the company.  
 On the other hand, the work that most non-tech folks do are not assets, but an operational expense.  
  
 Companies don't derive benefit of a non-tech even beyond the same month the work is performed.  
  
 The difference is the same as painting your house vs brushing your teeth. You don't paint your house everyday but you do brush your teeth. Painting here is a long lasting asset, adds to the value of the house. Brushing is necessary work but with ultimately perishable benefits.  
  
 2 - Code that engineers write provide non-linear benefits. A team of 30 in Zerodha were able to serve 3-5x more customers in the pandemic. This same scalability does not apply to non-tech majdoori. Business has scaled? Hire more heads. Not with code. 
  
  
 Obviously above does not apply to senior managerial folks who build and architect the organisation, set the cultures, create processes. The impact of their work is long lasting and non-linear. But work of junior business non-tech folks - well, they're getting paid as much as the value they create. Low leverage, low pay. Coding is very high leverage. 
  
 Before you jump on me, I worked for sales in years. Then shifted to product. Above two points are a reality whether you like it or not.

Product Manager

Consultant

I have 2 offers. One from a tech company and another from a non-tech company for SDE1 backend. 

The non-tech company is offering me more pay. Significantly more. 

Does working in a tech company offer you any sort of edge over working with a non-tech company? The non-tech company has good WLB. Not sure of the tech company though.

Tech vs non-tech company

Hi non tech person here.
Wondering how such inflated salaries in tech will survive in comparison to salaries of say marketing or sales in an organisation. 
The bubble seems to be bursting but will love you know the thoughts of tech people. 
Should I make a move towards a tech role after learning coding, I have PQE of 6 years in my field and earn decent.

Tech salaries

Growth Manager

I see candidates with 2-4 years earning in 20LPA+ whereas sales and marketing folks who sit with 4-8LPA tops. Isn't the disparity too much?

Is tech overpaid? Why not sales or marketing?

do you like coding? do you enjoying keeping up with new things? do you like the idea of continuous learning (especially in the field)? aren’t you overwhelmed? if tech didn’t pay well, would you still be working in tech?

Account Manager

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am at 4 yoe and working as a full stack dev (.net and sql server) 
I am feeling stuck and looking for a change. 
Still at 8 lpa haven't got a hike in last 3 years ( covid + recession) 
No matter what I do to my resume I get no call backs for interviews. 
Do I continue in  .net or do I upskill into some other tech stack. 
Any and all advice would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance.
